Quotes
-
He : Exposure. That's the only thing that works. Everything else is just talk. You have to have to courage to stay in the situation that frightens. And then you'll learn that fear isn't dangerous.
-
He : Acorns don't cry, you know that as well as I do. That's what fear is, thoughts distort reality. Not the other way around.
-
He : Nothing hurts more than to see the one that you love subjected to mistakes and wrongs.
-
He : What I understood, was that you wanted to write alone. So you could finish your thesis.
She : But I didn't.
He : You didn't.
She : You see? You didn't even know that.
He : Why did you give up? That's not like you.
She : The whole project just seemed less important, up there. As you said, when I talked to you about my subject: 'glib.'
He : I never called your subject glib.
She : Perhaps you didn't use that word, but that's what you meant. And, all of a sudden, it was glib. Or, even worse, some kind of lie.
He : I see.
She : No, you don't see. You see a lot of things, but not that.
-
He : What do you think is supposed to happen in the woods?
-
He : Remember, what the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
-
He : I'm not gonna continue this if you don't listen to me. Good and evil - they have nothing to do with therapy. You know how many innocent women were killed... in the 16th century alone just far being women? I'm sure you do - many. And not because they were evil.
She : I know. It's just sometimes I forget.
He : The evil you talk about is an obsession. Obsessions never materialize. It's a scientific fact. Anxieties cran't trick you into doing things you wouldn't do otherwise. It's like hypnotism. You can't be hypnotized into doing siomething... you woudn't normally do... something against your nature. Do you understand me?
She : Yeah, I think so.
He : You think so. Well, you don't have to undenstamd me. Just trust me.
